I finally feel the same ! I went today and did 3.5 pn the treadmill running and had a slight incline. I had to stop now and then but I have realized I need to go burn those exta 430 calories ! I want to tone and get the belly gone. I felt Awsome after a 40 min run.

The best exercise is the one you will stick with.

I was so disappointed recently when I looked up calories in alcohol and found that most liquor is about 70 calories per ounce. One ounce! Not counting mixers! Not fair. I had just discovered the joys of spiced rum' date=' too.[/quote']

So do you still have one now and then

I was told by my nutritionist 60-80 grams of Protein a day is correct.

Need some ideas for diff protiem

Unfortunately for most people' date=' just working out isn't enough. You have to control your portions and calorie intake, too.

Do you make sure your meals are a cup or less of food? Do you track calories?[/quote']

No I don't cause I barley eat ! Maybe I need to

Jan 2011 you posted this status: "I had my second fill like 3 weeks ago".

Have you had one since then? For some people it requires quite a few fills. It took me about 6 I think. I used to have it in my signature but took it out. I do have 9.5cc in a 11cc band.

If you could please share with us your band history it may help us provide you with constructive opinions.

Edit: I am home now where I had my fill info in a text file. It was 6 fills for me with the first being the largest.

1st fill 5/29/12 5cc

2nd fill 6/12/12 1cc

3rd fill 7/02/12 1cc

4th fill 8/14/12 1cc

5th fill 9/4/12 1cc

6th fill 1/29/13 .5

I go in 3 weeks

Has anyone tried hip hop abs

We need to be friends..I been banded for three yrs I was 220 and got to 160 but got off track and gained 20 (bad chioces) i could use a good friend for inspiration. Plus I just increased my band fill to 7.2 and really like to know if anyone else is t the same fillð

That's me too ! Have not had a fill in over a year! I get starving between meals ! Can still eat fast ! So I need a fill. Was 241 now I am 156 give or take. I need to lose 25 more

I agree' date=' time for a checkup with both the doctor and the nutritionist. They can help! Good Luck![/quote']

I love my vodka !!!! I just has sooo many calories

It makes my back feel soo much better

Never gave it much thought....I have a drink now and then' date=' especially when we go out.... a glass of wine most nights at home, and on occasion, like last weekend, a few beers....

I also go to the gym 5 days a week at 5:30am....run 5 miles, do weights but not as much as before....THEN I have my Breakfast which is a high Protein smoothie....

Sit in the sauna for 30 minutes, then whirlpool for 15....

I do not have any significant sagging skin issues...

What it all came down to is that I used to overeat, could not control myself... and was unable to be active....that's why I was Obese and very unhealthy.....now I eat about 1/3 of what I used to, and exercise often....I don't count calories, don't measure portion sizes (let the band do that)

My Dr. informs me there is no weight left for me to loose...if I did it would not be the healthy kind....

I'm 61 years old, had one heart attack a few years back, resulting in cardiac surgery....WAS a diabetic, HAD high blood pressure, cholesterol, you name it....ALL that is behind me now.[/quote']

You look awsome !! Yes as well I would just eat and eat !! Would eat all bad stuff ' chips dips fast food !! You name it I ate it ! I do now have sagging spare tire. I was 241 now 155-158!give or take. My dr said I could loose 10 to 15 more but that's it. I have not gained in 2 years. I do need a fill. I am getting really hungry between meals. I have started back to the gym. I want to be able to run 5 miles like you. But it will take me a while !! My dr says I don't need to count either

The thing with alcohol is that it can hide huge amounts of calories and unless you know exactly how many calories sit on your mojito' date=' chances are that you're consuming more than you think, plus it sucks to workout the next day. I'm not saying not to go out and have fun but be aware that you're gonna have to workout or eat extra clean the rest of the week in order to compensate and still lose weight.[/quote']

Well looks like I need to limit it to once and a while ' I feel imbarassed to say I have been having drinks every night to make my back feel better. No wonder I don't loose. And I need a fill ! Today I have been starving between meals

When we lose weight' date=' we get smaller all around but we keep our same body structure(type). That is why it's so important to mix your cardio with your weight training because that will reshape your body by building muscles and losing fat at the same time.[/quote']

What are people's thoughts on drinking and triing tioo loose the last 25 ! Even with workouts

Cardio at your gym? Treadmill' date=' etc. Walking works and everyone can do it.[/quote']

Justt finished 40 min on the elyptical. Did it on a interval.

I would love the answer to this as well

I heard that the interval training is the best

So does anyone know the best excersise to donto burn fat and loose inches and get rid of my belly !!! Pls pls help

I agree with Guy' date=' back to the basics. Measure or weight portions and get back to regular exercise.[/quote']

Back to my beach body DVD

Can't seem to stay focused when

I go to the gym

My surgon says workout videos are great

I would check in with the surgeon and nutritionists for ideas. If you have not had a fill in a year' date=' then it may be time to check back in.[/quote']
